…take down by Doogie…NPH is a national treasure.
But hey we got back the guy who created the mess in the first place.
But since he gets invited to all the dinner parties at the vineyards in the valley or estates in the hills it’s all okay! Happy days are here again.

Different take. I have no love for Chapek, but…NPH is a national treasure.
It’s a cringe worthy comment. It feels lowbrow.
I’ve got nothing against NPH. However, Disney should be better than comments like this where the excellence of the Parks should be on full display.

NPH is a national treasure.
I saw him host the Candlelight processional in 2013, it was amazing.
I love that he’s a Disney fan like us, he and John Stamos are my favorite Disney celebrity fans.
I doubt Disney had any input on the joke or knew he was going to say it, as a parks fan he’s probably just voicing his own feelings.

It's almost like admitting that they know things aren't great. Plus, it's just playing to the crowd and, more particularly, Disney fans.

Yeah, I 100% agree. Chapek is gone, the evil has been defeated. He’s something of the past, and Disney is already scrubbing him from their record books. This “joke” just kinda feels unnecessary, especially for a company that tries to position itself as the “nice guys.” It was a cheap shot, and not really that clever of funny. It feels rather tasteless.
Though my feelings could be some residual bitterness of him tanking his role as The Baker in Into the Woods when I saw it this summer.

I would be curious to see the audience reaction which was curiously cut off in the video.
It would be interesting to know if it fell flat or had a large reaction.
Or reaction to company policy and decisions under Chapek to which he may have had personal problems with.Yeah, I 100% agree. Chapek is gone, he’s something of the past.

At least that’s what The Zach said that Walt’s vision was for the acronym in an Instagram post.

Probably because most people in the audience had no idea who Chapek was. This stuff barely resonates in the real world.It definitely fell flat

Has it occurred to anyone he did that specifically to kiss iger’s scrawny @zz in the press?
Because remember: everything wrong was done in 25 months due to chapek

Counterpoint: nothing Chapek did over the last two years was as bad as 8-Bit Christmas or The Matrix Resurrections.

Prices and park inconveniences were the main things guests seemed to dislike about Chapek. As if either of those affects NPH in the least.
This is like when brand addicts chat up hourly CMs about exec gossip. Man, the CMs probably don’t care, they’re thinking about having to shop for groceries after their shift. Bottom line: old boss same as new boss same as old boss.
